Hi there, I am using Mathys Fassilux Aqua XPE Satin - Colour: RAL1023 for painting wooden cupboard doors. The doors have been previously painted, so I sanded them down to roughen the surface for the paint to stick better, then applied Zinsser BIN shellac primer and then the Fassilux, as a thin layer (just one coat in places, two in others). A week on, and the paint still feels somewhat tacky. The same occurred on Zinsser BIN primed ply board - a week on, and still a bit tacky. Tacky to the extent that if you put one Fassilux painted surface touching another Fassilux painted surface, they stick to each other a bit. Is there anything I can do to speed up the drying process? Talcum powder? Some shelves I painted with Mathys Pegacryl Satin - Colour: RAL6027, same conditions, same time, happily accepted 2 coats, dried completely in 24 hours and are now done, whereas the Fassilux is still playing up... Thanks very much for your help!

Please refer to the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) for each product which can be downloaded from the 'DATASHEETS' tab on each respective product page on our website. Here it states that Mathys Fassilux Aqua XPE Satin should be touch dry in 3 hours, recoatable after 24 hours and full hardness will be achieved after 1 week. Mathys Pegacryl Satin is quicker drying at touch dry in 1 hour, recoatable in 24 hours and full hardness will be achieved after 2 days. All estimated drying times are based on 20°C and 50% r.h., low temperatures, lack of air flow and high relative humidity will prolong the drying/curing process.

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]
